That Sam Smith song that completely ripped off Tom Petty finally got brought to light a while back... I mean, that was TOTALLY obvious.

I just heard some song on the radio that ripped off the lyrics to "I wanna dance with Somebody" by Whitney Houston. There must be a clause in music now that you can rip off 80% of the words but if you just change up the other 20%, it's ok.

more like 90/10 ratio probably... I mean, it's almost exactly the same these days.
